Okay. Now that I have that out of the way...I'm trying to write more. Believe me, lack of ideas isn't the problem. It's more like...the ideas make no sense to anyone but me. Which just sucks. It really really does.
What experiences are you envisioning for this college student?
"This was the third day in a row he'd come in, looked at the menu and not ordered anything. She decided if he came in tomorrow she'd stop him and ask him why."
"12 Across: 7th letter of the greek alphabet. She somehow felt that if she knew the answer to this one that the rest of the puzzle would fall into place. Instead she pushed the crossword under the counter and went to rotate the coffee pots."
"As he ordered his coffee, she couldn't help but notice the bulge in his pants. 'I'd like to suck the filling out of that pastry,' she thought to herself. Remembering that she was taking his order, she asked the only question that came to mind 'Cream?'"
The opening line is highly dependent on where you want the story to go.
As far as women on the frontline, I've always felt that it was about equal treatment, not getting all the benefits men had. Keeping women off the frontline is a bit like saying "we should be equal here and here, but not here." In a movie I dearly love and which nobody else does "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai" One of the characters shoots a female police officer. His accomplice asks him what the hell he was doing. His response: "They want to be equal. I made her equal." It's like Affirmative Action. If you can't meet the same standards all the other soldiers do, I don't want to see you off the frontlines. I want to see you out of the military.
